Welcome to extremenomads.life – a blog for adrenaline junkies, outdoor adventurers, travel lovers and mad monkeys with a thing for good vibes.

We cover all things extreme sports and travel; as well as more traditional activities like hiking, diving, or cycling. You can explore our content either by destination in our travel category, or by activity in our sports category.

We specialize in destination guides covering specific activities in interesting regions, for example these guides to the best wake parks in Asia, the best kitesurfing spots in Sri Lanka, or the best hikes in Ireland, but we also zero in on all the outdoor activities available in a specific spot, like our monster guides to Hua Hin in Thailand, Phan Rang in Vietnam, or Siargao in Philippines.

To reach a specific country or sport directly, use our top menu by hovering over (desktop), or clicking on (mobile) each section.

Finally, we also love reviewing and testing products / services in both sports and tech that we think our readers will be stoked with, and you’ll find this content in the reviews category. Our most popular articles there so far are definitely a complete test of the latest GoPro Hero 7 Black, what we think are the best watersports sunglasses on the market, and this massive overview of the best surf camps in Bali.

We hope you enjoy our content; and if you’re interested in what’s happening behind the scenes, you can follow us either on Facebook, any of our social accounts below, or subscribe to our newsletter by filling in the form at the bottom of this page (or when exiting the site).

Daily dose of dawg 🐕 . We had an AWESOME time away in Achill, but coming home is that much sweeter when we know the floofs are waiting for us (btw we have a total of THREE floofs at home right now — Blacky and Borscht, the babes from Thailand, and our most recent foster Miss Puskins, a cantankerous 8 year old cat). . Maybe it’s also a little to do with how we inherently like to travel — ie. S.L.O.W.L.Y. ✨ Jim and i have both always preferred to stay in places longer; 6 months to a year at a time, so that we can really get to know it properly. Plus fast travel is EXHAUSTING. . We’re on the hunt for our next location (once our stint in Ireland is up), most likely winter 2020. We have a few contenders, but we’d also love to hear your suggestions! Our ideal next spot will be: 🚐in Europe ☀️warm 🌊near some good waves 💨have some wind 💰 low cost of living 🌈added bonuses if the food, wine, language, and culture is awesome! . Where would you suggest?? . . . . . . . #extremenomads . . . . . . #wildatlanticwaycork #westcork #westcorkexplorer #rawireland #realireland #irelanddaily #irelandpassion #discoverireland #failteireland #irelandoutdoors #nextstopnature #greettheoutdoors #igersireland #thefullirish_ #raw_ireland #adventureenthusiasts #wanderireland #ig_cork #ireland_gram #suplife #standuppaddle #dogsonsups #standupjournal #standuppaddleboarding #standuppaddling #standuppaddlingwithdogs #adventuredognation #sup

 After a 6 hour road trip yesterday, Jim and I (Grace) landed on Achill Island -- a windswept island on the northwest coast of Ireland. 🌊💨🐏 For those of you that might have missed our updates earlier this month, we're here to cover Battle for the Lake -- a mad AF kitesurfing/windsurfing/surfing/SUPing/music festival. 👌🏽 WHAAAAAAAT?! 🔥 Yeah, it's badass. Even more so because this year is their 10th anniversary, so it's pretty big sh*t! ✨✨✨ Jim is going to be doing his videography magic for the @stancekiteboarding media crew, while I go live on social media with interviews and vlog-style updates of the event for the hosts, @lifeispuremagic . ⭐️ Meanwhile, we'll be bringing you all our own behind-the-scenes coverage here throughout the week/weekend. 🐒📷 Are any of you going to be in Achill for the event? If not, will you be following along on social? Let us know! ✨ For now we'll leave you with a few shots of Achill Island so far. 'Stunning' doesn't cover half of it. . . . #extremenomads . . . . . . . . #achill #achillisland #wildatlanticway #battleforthelake #lifeispuremagic #puremagicachill #mayomayhem #westofireland #streetartglobe #streetartdaily #dailydoseofstreetart #kitefestival #ireland_gram #instaireland #igers_ireland #muralpainting #actionsports #sportsmedia #youririshadventure #exploreireland #discoverireland #raw_ireland #inspireland #ireland_daily #irelandnews #adventurebloggers
 Blacky Boo’s face every time we tell her we’re going on an adventure 🤪 we take her hiking, SUPing, motorbiking, and running in nature whenever we can. She’s travelled across the world with us. She has TWO passports (yup, our pooch is a dual Thai/French citizen. So fancy!). Sometimes she gets nervous in unfamiliar situations, especially when it comes to the water, but after she realizes she’s safe and she can do whatever it is, her face literally looks like the happiest dog on the planet and seriously I think there’s something we can all learn from that. . . . . . #extremenomads . . . . . . . #adventureblogger #exploremoreoutdoors #dogswhotravel #dogoftheday #dogsinwilderness #adventuredognation #getoutandexplore #widenyourworld #suitcasetravels #wanderlove #neverstopexploring #exploringwithdogs #travellingdog #adventureisoutthere #traveldogs #traveldogstagram #explorersclub #thetraveltag #adventuretraveler #adventureseekers #dailywoof #getoutstayout #outdoortravel #dogstagraming #adoptdontshop🐾 #traveldreamseekers #wanderoften
